In a press release sent to VG247 today, Kojima said of the ties between both games, “The advanced capabilities of the FOX Engine have allowed me to tell the new story in a new way. There will be a significant difference in what Metal Gear Solid : The Phantom Pain brings to the series, so we want to ease players into the new open world environment and its potential. As such,Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes has been designed to introduce key elements, allowing them to fully benefit from all that the new game will offer.”

According to the release, Ground Zeroes, “charts a rescue mission as users infiltrate a Cuban prison camp, and sets in motion a series of events that culminate in the stunning plotlines of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.”

In reference to the question at the end of the article. Not really. So now we know it is being sold separately, allbeit at a lower price, I seriously doubt the content will be worth the money. But for MGS V: PP, I am excited.

I'm not the biggest fan of installment-based gaming per say, (which I guess you can determine this as) but when the quality's at the level of Metal Gear Solid then I can't complain too much. Is both Ground Zeroes and ThePhantom Pain the same length? Or is the former smaller and latter's fully fledged, complemented with the online segment?

I'm cautiously excited. As someone who still remembers that epic trailer for MGS1 with the C4 at the end, who got it day 1 and followed the series religiously for the last decade, the omission of Hayter's voice is still something I'm coming to terms with. If this is a vastly new experience, then the 2 things I loved about the game will be gone.

Lack of Hayter is a massive concern for me, to say the least. I half-expected it to be one of those Kojima ruses, where they game would be released and the opening credits would detail Hayter's participation - cue fan hysteria!

It's a shame Hayter decided to stop doing the voice of Snake (if it's not a ruse), he was awesome!

I'm just so disillusioned as to why he wasn't even asked to do it, or at least have talks regarding it. His voice is so synonymous with the series, arguably more so than any other voice actor who's tied to a particular character or series. I guess I understand Kojima's reasoning to a degree, but having heard Sutherland's version it doesn't seem in line with what Kojima even wants. Not a fan.

definitely looking forward to this game. With the current gen I was just starting to get into the open world sandbox genre...and was loving it. Looks like the next gen is going to be full of that genre and I can't wait. Just hope it doesn't become tiresome and over saturated.

This might be the only digital title I have on PS4, haha. I'm not buying it for current-gen, so I'll download it. I have Russian K-mart style internet, so I'll have to download it down my cousin's spot. I just hope Sony doesn't have no bull$#@! with it. Gotta wait till 2 in the morning like these COD kids are dealing with as we speak.
